The Posterior Sex Combs (Psc) gene of Drosophila has been studied at the molecular level both because it is a Polycomb group (Pc-G) gene and hence required for the maintenance of segmental determination, and because it is the Drosophila homolog of the murine bmi-1 oncogene. Although genetic interactions indicated that Psc functioned as a Pc-G gene, the zygotic mutant phenotype of Psc showed little evidence of...
